Apply a few drops to face in the AM and PM before creams. A tingling sensation can be expected after application. If the sensation is too strong to tolerate, the formula can be mixed with other creams or serums of your preference before each application to reduce the strength.

Most loved serum. Period.
Of all the many serums I have tried from the Ordinary, and any other skincare line, this is without a doubt my favorite. I buy it again and again. I would say the best way to describe the effect this has on my fair, dry, sensitive skin is: strength. My skin feels protected, firm, bouncy, and strong ...

Still on the fence about this product!
I have to give 3 stars to this product because, after using all the content of the bottle over the course of various months, I am still confused about whether I actually liked it or not. For a bit of context: I have dry skin, which can really only take as much in terms of the amount of products I l...

I mistakenly put Amino Acids +B5 under my eye area before bed. In the morning I awoke to dramatically reduced dark circles. Thought it may have been a fluke & or some other contributing factor. Applied again the next evening to wake with the same result. This was over 3 yrs ago & I use this every night & morning under my eyes. GAME CHANGER for me!! Please please never ever stop making this wonderful serum! If I could give it 100 stars I would.
A game changer!
I have normal to dry skin with some fine lines. I pair this with hyaluronic acid daily and it is GREAT for hydration support. I noticed a difference within a week after using once daily in the tightness, plumpness and hydration of my skin. I also noticed some decrease in my fine lines and pores, but this could be from another ordinary product i started using at the same time. I love this product, I feel like the glow it gives me sticks around throughout the day and it is great under makeup!
Glowing!

I used to have oily, dehydrated skin that was prone to occasional acne (even in my mid 40s). I've been using this for 3-4 years, and I gave to say that the oil is completely gone as well as the acne. To top it off, my skin feels so healthy and moisturized. These amino acids produce majorly glowy skin andhelp support collagen! It's an everyday product for me.
The most hydrating product in my arsenal.

I've used this product for about a week now and this is by far the most hydrating product in my arsenal. My skin was very dehydrated and had almost Saran Wrap like texture. As soon as I apply this serum, my skin texture softens and shines. The serum adds a very nice glow to the skin that stays even after I put a moisturizer on top. My skin is not overly sensitive; so I tolerate it very well and have no reaction to it. Some might experience some tingling from it per manufacturer's label. The formula does seem to be very concentrated. I absolutely love it and happy I discovered it.
Replaces hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid dries my skin. This serum hydrates like nothing I've used before. I've used it twice daily for a month & can now skip using primer. I haven't noticed any improvement to wrinkles or sun damage, but it works better than a moisturizer. I highly recommend it if you have dry skin. Pros: No scent, absorbs quickly, hydrates, inexpensive Cons: Gets sticky if you use too much product, watery
